Comment on Apple’s MacBook Pro memory problem is worse than ever
dukk@programming.dev 9 months agoOhhh right, I totally forgot about that. Remember reading about it somewhere. In that case, I guess it makes more sense.

Yeah you need to be careful what memory numbers you read - I’ve seen some of them hit terabytes on my Mac, and I only have a 256GB SSD so there’s no way that’s physically possible. Just because a memory address is tracked by the kernel doesn’t mean it’s actually being used. You can have a single region of memory counted multiple times (in my case, probably millions of times… I don’t think I was using much swap at all).
